About Me

I am a Senior Designer and Art Director that has recently moved back to New York City from London. I am currently looking for new opportunities where I can create exceptional work. I specialize in visual design, user experience, and branding. I would love to work with you.

I have a sleek and modern design approach. My expertise in a multitude of mediums, creative spark, and compositional and typographic understanding makes me a good designer. I work under the philosophy that design is not simply beautification but an intelligent solution to understanding and expressing concepts and interactions. I earned a Bachelors in Graphic Design from Drexel University in 2011. Beyond my passion for design and the creation of thoughtful and innovative products, I am passionate about travel, ceramics, textiles, and music.
